June 28 log

I was planning to walk to the studio today and take pilates and werq classes, but I haven't been getting much sleep lately and feel as though I'm fighting a cold. Probably wisest to take it "easy" in the 100-degree heat and just walk home. This feels like something that can be kicked with one good night's sleep. Also, I generally need to get better about getting more sleep. It's one big area where I consistently fail, and I've heard a number of times that it can contribute to stress, cortisol and leptin dysregulation, etc. So...that's tonight's project. Tomorrow I'll push myself hard in the morning and evening workouts (and probably again Saturday morning).

Also, my muscles still haven't completely recovered from Tuesday's workout. What is going on with this? Muscle recovery has been extraordinarily slow, and I've felt physically more fatigued the past month or so. I don't believe it's all attributable to the hot weather we've had. The possibility did occur to me this morning that I may need to increase my carb intake, so I'll experiment with that tonight, with a fried plantain.
